The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.
–Black Elk

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.

Was it not Einstein who said that the imagination was the most important quality to possess? Look at all the great inventions, how many of them would be possible without the birth of a dream or idea that lets mankind take a step forward in intelligence?

what I find so sad is that many, many people do not understand this simple concept. they are suspicous of anyone who gives and expects nothing in return. I have had many things, or potential gestures and acts of kindness, thrown back at me because people suspect I want to harm them.
One day at the grocery store, I offered to return a woman's empty cart to the holding area about 100 yards away so she wouldn't have to leave her infant alone in an SUV with the door open. She clutched her purse to her chest and threatened to call the police.
I'm asked more than 95% of the time what I want to "get out of it" when I offer to do something for others.
I pity those that do not understand that I do these things because it as important to my being as is breathing.
